She is a wonderful dancer. But if one is going to play a character in a variation, it needs to follow through the entire time. She really needs to quiet down her pointe shoes, or learn to use them correctly.
I have rarely seen anyone "winding" up for pirouettes in the past 30 years. She does the pirouette to seconde beautifully in the first section, it should have been left at that, and not repeated, esp. with her clapping for herself!
She looks to have a very promising career in ballet.
